Publisher's Synopsis
Learn how to harness your body's natural ability to burn fat and boost your energy and immune system! Your body usually relies on carbs for energy. However, when there aren't carbs, the body starts depending on ketones, which is the form of fat that's been transformed into usable energy packets. The ketogenic diet - which was originally created to treat epilepsy - triggers the process of ketosis and production of ketones, so your body uses fat for energy.
